Happy Easter!

Plans went awry when I ended up dealing with a bad case of vertigo! I awoke about 2am. There was an amazing electrical storm outside. I decided to go on bunny patrol and decorate the dining room table (we do this in lieu of baskets…) Upon completion, I laid back down and immediately vertigo set […]
Happy 9th to our ‘R’
Posted in FAMILY on Mar 27th, 2013
Always a special day to enjoy the birth of our sons. ‘R’ turned 9 and we celebrated it to the max (celebration with friends will be next week.) ‘A’ woke early and set up a Scavenger Hunt for ‘R’. He had fun following the clues/rules that ‘A’ had set for him. This is kind of […]
Hitting the Slopes
Posted in FAMILY on Jan 30th, 2013
Upon returning from breaking down my mom’s house, I proceeded to get sick for three weeks. Not surprising, given the physical and emotional exhaustion. DH was amazing at helping me stay down and not try to do too much. When I was feeling better, we managed to get up on the slopes a few times. […]

Our church hosts a huge Christmas event. This year, the event contains music by Lincoln Brewster, dance by the Silhouettes, and L’Petit Cirque, then a beautiful candlelight ceremony with children reading from the Bible.

It was a perfect day for our annual Christmas Tree Hunt, our new tradition for the day after Thanksgiving. Four families piled into their cars and headed for Apple Hill.
